Favorite Rider??

[gustienordic]

Since we have gotten the chance to say who we really dislike, I'm just curious who everyones favorite riders are (can be for different reasons)

I myself enjoy watching:

Sagan (makes some nice attacks and can sprint)
Kanstanine Sitsov (good rider, but just never quite strong enough)
Christian VDV (pretty strong rider with awful luck)
Steven Kruisfwikk (young strong rider who has a good future)
Bauke Mollema (another young rider)

Gilbert: the best!
Marcato: I really like him, a strong rider that deserves a win!
Degenkolb: I like his power!

I'm with you on Kruijswijk. But my favourites are danish.

Breschel (obviously a talented classic rider, strucked by misfortune lately)

C. A. Sørensen (the danish Robert Gesink, and he's not that far off)

Among the international superstars I'm only fan of Contador, I used to be fan of Fränk Schleck and Cancellara, and i still like them very much, but they are on a a different path now.

There's a very large group of riders that i just "like" to name a few: Gilbert, evans, Scarponi, rodriguez and I could go on for a while.

Contador, because I'm awed by Excellence
Cancellara, same reason
Gilbert, love the explosive kick
Rodriguez, same reason

Pozzato, because he's incredibly cute and I have an autographed jersey

 

[gilbertador]

CONTADOR, no one has more talent, panache and class

That's a coincidence, El Pistolet has a piece of used toilet paper autographed by Pozzato.

Trivia:
After forensic research, Belgian authorities discovered the piece of toilet paper had been used just minutes after Pozzato had autographed it.

rogers...and i'm not even an aussie. i can't pick one from my country as there is never gonna be one again in the tour.

Ivan Gutierrez. One of the super domestiques with all around capabilities. He has won in time trials, sprints, solo and is quite accomplished in the mountains. If his GC contender is in yellow he is usually found pulling the entire peloton. When he is not he is oft found in a break away. I promise that you will see him in several this TdF as sure as you will see Chavanel.
